'''Whistler Build 2531''' (not to be confused with the [https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_XP_build_2531 Whistler build of the same name]) is a bootleg of Windows XP build 2531, and is probably the first XP bootleg ever created and released.
 
==Description==
This is based on a Release Candidate 2 build of Windows XP, butand notoriously had several things added to it that weren't in the original build, such as TweakUI, extra backgrounds. and the removal of the timebomb and activation. It is unclear why exactly the leaker released it like this, but a rumor suggests the author was unhappy with the beta leaking scene at the time and did it out of spite. AFor many years, this was the only release of Build 2531 available until a team on OSBetaArchive later restored the ISO to its original state, and the unmodified build would finally would leak in June 2022.
 
Other then those changes, the build is the same as the leaked version.
 
==Changes from Windows XP build 2531==
*Several additional backgrounds have been added.
*Command Prompt has had its default black and gray color scheme replaced with a white and blue color scheme. The text is also larger.
*The timebomb and activation has been removed.
